Yes, sir.

I know it is a travel if you put a knee on the floor, but not sure you can justify a travel is there is a knee already on the floor and the other one comes down........do you have a rules reference that would support a travel call in this instance......I can't find one........

I see 4.44.5 Sit D. However, it doesn't say anything about the other knee coming to the floor, which in my opinion 4-44-5a would have to apply.

Get me back in line, Bob.

Did he start a dribble before the other knee hit the floor?

Ok, I don't know if that makes a diff but I thought I'd muddy the H20!

If he did, then it'd be legal. 4.44.5 Sit D.

Well, talking to a few people and what not.

I think Bob is saying he's already on the floor - thus, no violation.

Still a little rusty on this one, but I'll come around!
